Watch corvette forums for a while and you'll find a much lower FRC for that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for lookin out. Honestly Id take a coupe over a FRC if it had a stroker in it. Or more mods... Coupes look more smoother to me. But to each his own.

turbospec29 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've been looking at these cars too. Been going back and forth, how would an ls2 GTO compare to a non Z06 C5 pros/cons? They seem to have a similar price range in the used market... Vince, I know you have owned both? It would be a weekend / nice weather daily for me.

I had an LS1 GTO and Z06 C5. I would DD either. The GTO was more comfy inside and rode smoother. The GTO was easier to see out of. GTO was also easier on parking lot inclines and parking ties. The only real advantage to the Z06 was the fact that it was a Z06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Shanton, I'm seriously thinking about getting a vette for a daily and not replacing my Jeep with a new truck. What the hell do I need a new truck for when the Jeep can tow and I can rock a Vette like this every day. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/vehicle-classifieds/1403540-1999-frc-b-b-ccw-74k-16-000-a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 One of the coolest things about the Z06 was a trip I made, about 400 miles, and saw 31.something mpg. That was 100% bone stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ride home from Kentucky I saw just about that. I really fucked up my average on a really empty stretch of 71 though. Do eeeeeet Shanton.

GSXRAntwon Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 what is the difference between a coupe and an FRC? A coupe has a removable roof. An FRC is a "Fixed Roof Coupe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 The FRC, for all intents and purposes, was the test bed for the Z06. Z06 ended up getting some lighter, thinner windows, I think a lighter roof, some brake ducts, lighter wheels, less sound deadening, titanium pipes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace1647545504 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Plus its a vette The GTO is a jazzed up Bonneville,GM blew it on the design, went to Australia and got the holden. They could have retroed it back to the 66 style or even the 70 judge mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
